customs in over 50 countries

Polynesia, a collection of 13 island nations in the South Pacific, is known for its collective hospitality and friendliness. The islands are home to about six million people who continue to live in tight-knit extended families. Cultural traditions are strong in all the island nations, where gift-giving occasions often take the form of native rites of passage.
